#OneWorld. #OneHealth. That's long been a slogan - describing the inextricable connection between human, animal and ecosystem health. No single discipline or sector can properly manage the threat of disease in a globalized world. Countries in the Western Pacific region have realized they need to act, both individually and collectively, to address infectious diseases. The painful lessons of #COVID19 have underscored that a piecemeal approach to One Health simply doesn’t work. But what are the steps and investments needed to move from words to action? I spell this out in my @WorldHealthDay op-ed for @wef ⬇️

Science is a powerful tool, if we choose it, and use it. This World Health Day, WHO has a simple message: Together for Health. #StandWithScience. #WHD2026

Good morning, world! 🌎 We have spectacular new high-resolution images of our home planet, all of us looking back through the Orion capsule window at our Artemis II astronauts as they continue their journey to the Moon.

Selamat datang - welcome! - to Malaysia, @DrTedros, on your relatively brief but meaningful first-ever mission to one of our WHO Western Pacific Member States. A great opportunity for our @WHOMalaysia multi-country office (that also covers Brunei Darussalam and Singapore) and @WHO Global Service Centre based in Kuala Lumpur to interact with you - and for you to meet with government partners as well to discuss, and learn about, our regional and country-level support to an ambitious health agenda. From tackling rising rates of heart disease and other #NCDs to strengthening the national public health system’s ability to provide ever-wider coverage, Malaysia’s challenges and opportunities mirror that of our region as a whole. We at WHO will continue to provide steadfast support to the Ministry of Health and other partners in their quest to achieve #HealthForAll. @DrRabiWHO @DrDzul @KKMPutrajaya @bernamadotcom @BernamaTV @ASEAN @aseanfoundation

Touched by this moment from @bts_bighit Comeback. “Nerve-wracking… nervous… anxious… scared…” They openly acknowledged them. Strength isn’t the absence of anxiety, but choosing to keep going, to “keep swimming together”. Thank you BTS! #MentalHealth 💜 @BTS_twt

@ticagg ❤️❤️❤️

Little Punch moved me here 🥹 Watch as he calmly sits amidst the commotion instead of fleeing. Then in an incredible act of kindness, he goes to the ousted monkey and offers comfort. His hardships have truly taught him to be brave.❤️‍🔥🐒🌱 #punch #IchikawaCityZoo #punchi

@DrTedros @BTS_twt @WHO 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Congratulations on your comeback with #BTS_ARIRANG, @BTS_twt! Thank you for reminding ARMY—and all of us—to always hold onto hope, to keep moving forward despite the waves in our lives, and to stay connected with our loved ones. We at @WHO appreciate that you continue to be a voice promoting #MentalHealth and well-being through your music for everyone, everywhere. #BTS_SWIM

真の友情よりかけがえのないものなんてこの世にはない。"There is nothing on this Earth more to be prized than true friendship." That beautiful truth was manifested this week by 日本WHO協会 - Friends of WHO Japan - a longtime partner in health, through the Memorandum of Understanding signed with our WHO Western Pacific Regional Office @WHOWPRO based in Manila. Headed by the legendary Professor Yasuhide Nakamura, @FriendsWHOJapan is a private, nonprofit public health organization established in 1965 in support of the mission and principles of the World Health Organization - working to promote the spirit of the visionary @WHO Constitution and improve the health and well-being of people in Japan and across the world. Over the past 60+ years, this very special entity has: ➡️provided WHO and global health information in Japanese; ➡️led public awareness initiatives through regular publications, lectures, and symposiums; ➡️built domestic and international health networks; ➡️supported capacity strengthening and human resource development; and ➡️contributed to WHO programmess through fundraising and partnership-based support. Its many initiatives have included hygiene education for children and young people; essay competitions for elementary and junior high school students; international symposiums on healthy ageing; and, not least, international cooperation efforts including research grants and support for overseas health projects. The MoU signed this week takes our collaboration to a new level. It's more than just a document. It's a commitment to walk forward together all the more at a time of unprecedented challenge. The United States’ move away from WHO, compounded by other shifts in geopolitics, has created significant political and economic challenges. Our financial pressures, already difficult last year, have only intensified. While we continue to knock on many doors for support, the tough global climate means that help does not come easily. That's why the support we have consistently received from Japan - its government, prefectures and private sector - means so much to us. This generosity, especially coming from the private sector - where WHO has historically found it challenging to foster alliances - touches us deeply. I hope this MOU marks the beginning of a new chapter, one where we explore innovative models of collaboration that bring fresh energy and solutions to our Region. #HealthForAll @japan @japangovt @JPN_PMO @MofaJapan_en

Online bullying leaves no bruises. But the damage is real. If you’re a parent, guardian, or educator — know what it looks like. Know what to do. Because children seldom ask for help until it’s gone too far. Bullying is never okay. Silence makes it worse.
